Wasteland scavenging, fat girl takes the sick and disabled family away

Chapter 408 Semi-soil and semi-hydroponics

Hearing that Shi Yuebai was going to plant trees again, the leadership of the old lair were getting nervous.

There's no other reason than that the trees in the old nest are now so numerous that they've become an overabundance.

However, these wildly growing trees never caused the slightest harm to the survivors in the lair.

Their roots keep going deeper and deeper into the ground.

They avoided the houses built by the survivors in the lair, without causing any damage to the foundations of the houses.

Some roots even surround the foundations of the survivors' houses, forming a plant barrier around the foundations.

This effect might not be noticeable in houses built by ordinary survivors.

However, the roots of these plants wound their way to the foundation of the wall, forming a thick underground barrier.

This underground barrier makes it less likely for the soil and water below to be lost.

No one noticed this at first.

Shi Yuebai might know, but she didn't think it was a serious matter, so she didn't tell anyone.

Later, an expert from the old nest who specialized in studying soil erosion developed a deep concern about the current living environment in the old nest.

The rising snowmelt will eventually wash away the soil and water beneath the nest.

Once the snow melts, it continuously corrodes the area beneath the nest.

Although the garbage dump blocked the snowmelt and protected the nest.

But one day, the old nest will be like a bowl with a hole in the bottom, and water will seep out from underneath.

That soil and water expert had nothing to do all day, so he just kept thinking and thinking.

One day, he suddenly had a whimsical idea and took a shovel to dig a hole.

Take a look at the soil and water below to see if it has been washed away and eroded by the melting snow.

The deeper the expert dug, the more horrifying the sight became. The entire area beneath the lair was covered in plant roots.

Upon discovering this, the experts reported it up the chain of command.

The leadership of the old nest still attaches great importance to this matter.

They found some exploration tools in Shi Yuebai's supply depot and then sent people to carefully explore the underground of their lair.

Finally, they discovered that the roots of these plants, growing wildly inside the nest, were so densely packed that they covered the entire nest like a real bird's nest.

Shi Yuebai watched them busily going about their business without saying a word.

Only after Xu Xuejiao and Pang Zhenggong finished their work did Shi Yuebai casually say,
“I already knew that, and I told you long ago that these plants would not have any effect on you.”

Within Shi Yuebai's protective array, all the plants were under her control.

It's because the garbage mountain isn't that reliable.

Therefore, for double insurance, Shi Yuebai specially had plants planted in every corner of the lair.

She deliberately allowed the plant's roots to grow underground into a bird's nest shape.

They're even planting plants on garbage mountains now.

It was also Shi Yuebai who wanted the plant roots to penetrate into the crevices of the garbage mountain.

These plants absorb snowmelt through their root systems.

The large bowl-shaped wall protecting the nest will be covered with plant roots.

The more turbulent the snowmelt outside, the more nutrients it will provide to the plant roots.

Shi Yuebai smiled at Xu Xuejiao and Pang Zhenggong, who had come to inquire.
Let's just say these plants are half soil-grown and half hydroponically grown.

"There's nothing we can do about it, after all, we don't have much land."
